James, WTSLocation is used to update location specific information when a user logs on or reconnects to disconnected session. Frontend and Backend printing is updated based on the printer information in the WTSLocation database for the machine name that the user is logged in to. There is also similar functionality for location based lists in PowerChart.

Can you tell me more about WTSLocation and why it's needed?

We also have Password Manager 2.5 deployed for about 1500 users (selective enrollment). WTSLocation is a requirement for a successful implementation from a printing and location list aspect. I would be happy to share more via conference call if you would like Eric Eric M.

We are a large health organization in Western Canada (BC), and currently have a Metaframe XPe farm that is hosting around twenty clinical, financial, and business productivity apps. We are about to undertake a large clinical information systems overhaul, using Cerner's Millenium software and have procured additional hardware and licensing for this purpose (details of new and existing farms below). The clinical applications that Cerner is providing will be in addition to existing clinical applications currently published. We will most likely build a separate farm for this install. It remains to be seen whether we use existing build architecture/process (ie. XPe on Win2K), or build from the ground up with Pres Server 4 + Win2K3. We are also very interested in the potential of implementing Password Manager into the Cerner environment, to ease the burden on the clinicians, as well as to automate enforcement of security policy, etc. I'm very interested in hearing any comments you might have re: similar type implementations or installations, including any directions, "gotchas" , glitches, must-haves, etc. Cerner is strongly recommending the use of a product called WTSLocation, which they claim will aid in directing printing and user profile directory management. Any comments on this product and its need?
